ACT I SCENE II

GOOFIN is shown waking up one morning and beginning to get ready (however a potato would do that). He is in CLOPE's house since his blew up. As he continues getting ready, CLOPE suddenly bursts into his room out of breath.

CLOPE: Goofin! Something... terrible... has happened!

GOOFIN: What is it?

CLOPE: Let me show you!

They go into his kitchen, and he opens a cupboard and points to an empty spot.

Look!

GOOIFN: I don't see anything.

CLOPE: Exactly! That's the spot where I keep my candy! Now it's all gone!!!!

GOOFIN: Is that really that bad?

CLOPE: Yes of course it is! Wait! Did you take it?

GOOFIN: What? No, I'm a food, I don't eat.

CLOPE: Oh.

GOOFIN looks closely at the empty spot.

GOOFIN: Are you sure all of it's gone? Wait, there's something back there!

CLOPE: What is it?

GOOFIN: I can't tell.

CLOPE: Well, get it out!

GOOFIN: I can't reach it!

CLOPE pushes him out of the way, reaches into the cupboard, and pulls out a piece of paper.

What's that?

CLOPE sets it down on a counter.

CLOPE: I have no idea!

GOOFIN reads the note.

GOOFIN: "Tank yoo fur da candees it tasts guud Luv Evil Ned!" Who's Evil Ned?

CLOPE: I don't know, but I'm scared of creepy people giving me misspelled letters!

GOOFIN: Of course. Next thing I know, you'll be scared of potatoes.

CLOPE: Huh?

CLOPE looks at GOOFIN.

AAAAAAAAAH!

He runs out of his house, slamming into his refrigerator on the way.

GOOFIN: Great. Now where am I gonna stay?

He goes outside and sees a bunch of other Things around talking about how their candy was missing and how they all got a similar note. He sees CLOPE talking to KEETIN and BOOFIN and starts walking over to them.

BOOFIN: But who would be so mean as to steal all the candy in the entire village?

KEETIN: And what would he want with it?

CLOPE: Uh... to eat it maybe?

KEETIN: I don't know... stealing all that candy... there might be a more sinister use for it.

BOOFIN: I doubt it... but it would still be nice to catch the guy who did it.

KEETIN: Oh, hey Goofin.

CLOPE stiffens suddenly

Was yours stolen too?

GOOFIN: No, us foods don't eat. Besides, all of mine would have blown up last week.

CLOPE: Is he right behind me?

BOOFIN: Goofin? Yeah, why?

CLOPE runs and hides with a scared yell.

Clope, please don't tell me you just started being scared of him when he's been staying at your house for almost a week now!

CLOPE: No, I've been scared of him the whole time, I just didn't realize it until this morning!

BOOFIN groans.

BOOFIN: Well, he's going to keep staying with you until a new house gets built for him!

CLOPE: Why does he have to stay with me?

BOOFIN: BECAUSE YOU VOLUNTEERED!!!!!

CLOPE: Well that was when I was Super Clope!

BOOFIN: Well, why don't you become him now?

CLOPE: Nobody needs saving, do they?

KEETIN: We might need saving from the candy stealer.

CLOPE: Well he's not here, so I can't save you from him!

A RANDOM CUCUMBER (remember him?) suddenly runs towards the others.

RANDOM CUCUMBER: I know who can!

KEETIN, CLOPE, BOOFIN, and GOOFIN: Who?

RANDOM CUCUMBER: The Presidents! I shall go get um!

He runs away towards Oddland City.

BOOFIN: I guess that makes sense... but would they really want to be bothered by this?

CLOPE: I sure hope so! They're good at getting rid of scary things!

There is an awkward pause.

GOOFIN: So... did you guys watch the new comedy on TV the last two nights?

KEETIN: Yeah, it was funny!

BOOFIN: I was there last night.

CLOPE: I started to watch it, but I turned it off after the red guy came on.

KEETIN: Who, Crab?

GOOFIN: Who is actually a lobster?

CLOPE: Yeah, him.

BOOFIN: He was funny!

CLOPE: But... he's just so... red!
